How thick are the boards? Do the boards need to be reinforced when double stacking the garden beds?

The boards are 1/4 inch thick. They have done will as far as supporting what you need for soil and it is really a decent buy for the money. However- be sure you stain or seal the boards. THey are raw material boards.

They are thicker than an emery board I think but I have not used an emery board for about 3 years and will never go back to using one if I can help it.

they are more for fabric if they get opened to far they loose there spring. if you are using a board that is too thick they will break.

Yes. These are unbreakable and have ridges so that they will not slip away from each other when stacked to give you the height that will be right for your project.

They are not heavy and are smooth on the bottom. Depending on the wind, I could see these going flying.If you stack them when not in use then they will be fine, there is enough weight there to keep them put.

We installed 12 of these as an Eagle Scout Project for my son. I can't exactly remember how thick the boards are but they were thick enough. They had to be 1/2 to 3/4 inch. I know this as the boards are dovetailed on each end so the corners are interlocking. I ran deck screws into the corners to ensure that everything held together tight and they were in addition to the corner braces that came with the kit. Point being, there was enough meat there to run deck screws into without fear of splitting the boards. Hope this helps.

The grids should be sturdy enough to hold fairly light objects if they are stacked horizontally with cinder blocks between them. That is, I think they would work if I'm understanding what you are saying. (I made some bookshelves with boards and stacked cinder blocks when I was younger.) The cinder blocks will probably damage the finish on the Gridwalls, but that might not matter unless the chance of rust is a concern.If you are wanting to make some well-ventilated shelves to hold wet items or maybe potted plants or (??) then I think they should work well. They will flex slightly, or at least the 24x48 ones that I bought will, but with adequate support they are very sturdy.

These are heavy but excellent quality boards. Adults can easily lean the two halves against the wall - I usually put them behind some heavy furniture so that they don't slide down accidentally.

i haven't tried to stack these, but they are incredibly sturdy on their own. i imagine that stacking would work well if you have something to make it stable (i can't help you there). i've had this for 2 years now - no rot, no breaking - and it's in the elements of weird winters, torrential downpours, and hot summers of north carolina.

Sorry, but in my personal opinion -- no. When they are stacked they are kind of shaky. Not by much, but I would not want to put something heavy on top of them.

The trays are flexible and somewhat durable. Not knowing what you want to use them for, and not sure how much they need to bend it is difficult to answer. I have used some of my trays for a couple of years. I plant veggie seed in small pots and place them in the trays. Also, I have placed quart size pots with veggies in them, picked the trays up to move then elwhere in my green house without them cracking. I do make sure I hold the trays carefully and securely making sure the weight is balanced. Hope this helps

I don't have the dolly with me right now but I think the boards are an inch thick. If you look where the wheels are, you'll see boards of the same thickness. I have two of them and I'm really thrilled with the quality. Stained one and painted the other.

The sides aren't sturdy enough for stacking...they're fabric. That said, the cushioning is very good. In a stable setting with reasonable care to the weight inside. I have my china in them & several are stacked but they don't get moved much, if at all & the heavier stuff is on the bottom. When I take them out of storage, I do take them out separately.

No too thick. Just 2 maybe 4 depending on fabric weight. But no batting. Hope that helps

The panels are a composite and are thin but strong. So I'd say about 1/8" thick but they are braced between metal cross pieces.

They seem sturdy enough, but currently I have them stacked on separate shelves, so I can't be absolutely certain!

I used them on 1x6 boards and they worked well. A 2x4 would be too thick unless you countersink the back side of the hole.
